"sound of a flute" series of paintings / my next project / by Philip Tarlow

2:48 PM: I did a major cleanup of everything in my studio associated with my current space gallery exhibition. then I tacked this piece of blank portrait linen to the wall. it’s what’s left on the roll, and measures 27.75 x 85”

so what will happen in this space? stay tuned; right now I have absolutely no idea! a great place to be, wouldn’t you say?

7:28 AM: in 2018-19, i created a series of paintings inspired by the work of 18th c. landscape painters and masters of the brush: ike no taiga and his wife, tokuyama gyokuran, legendary figures in the history of japanese art.

the paintings all measure 78x26", in oil on linen. a select number of these pantings will be shown for the first time in my upcoming exhibition at colorado mountain college museum, september through december of this year. during that period, i’ll be giving talks and mentoring art students at the college.

here you see one of the paintings in this series, titled 10th month. click on series in the drop down menu above, and scroll down to sound of a flute to view the series:
